Re: FM-145 to M5OD-R1
thanks for the link! im gonna look into that. actually, most of the yards around here are really cheap. but they mostly have chevy/jeep/dodge parts, very few fords :( (thats a good thing, but it sucks for me haha) i can get any complete front/rear end for $85. thats even with them pulling the axles ...

Re: FM-145 to M5OD-R1
yeah, looked for the 146 also, they just dont have anything. the only standard tranny's that anyone had were fullsize fords and s-10's no rangers or anything. the 145 lost pretty much all the berings im guessing, lost each gear in just over 7 miles. 5th down. now tranny wont shift to anywhere but fi...

Re: what do yall think?
thanks dave (still loving that ranger by the way! looks like a beast)
yeah i was thinkin 4:88 was a lil much, but i had 4:10's in my old ranger (R.I.P.) and it still felt like i was lacking in that area.
know of anyone with a set for the 8.8 that there willing to sell?
thanks,
kolton
